Ios – iTunes Connect: How to choose a good SKU

app-store-connectios

I'm reading the iTunes Connect Developer Guide as I'm trying to add a new application to iTunes Connect.

I'm a bit confused about the SKU number which I should provide. On page 81 in the above developer guide they provide an example of their data for their application Orange Ball.

They have chosen Orange_Ball_01 for the SKU Number. What is the 01 indicating – that it is version 1? Why use underscore? Why not just type “OrangeBall”, if that SKU is not used?

You are able to choose one that you like, but it has to be unique.

Every time I have to enter the SKU I use the App identifier (e.g. de.mycompany.myappname) because this is already unique.
